    I ordered some Universal Battery Testers from BUDK.com and it's a really good thing I did.

    I tested the batteries I've had in my personal BOBag and Mrs. Bear's and sure enough most no longer had any juice. <--- time to rotate.

    Amazing how a simple $5 item can save you a lot of trouble down the road.

    Sunday I'll check the car and truck BOB's. Replace as needed.

    Btw BUDK.com is a really affoardable place to shop for Preps or if you're a blade collecter. Reasonable prices AND I'm impressed with the quality of their blades <--- and freakin' sharp!

    ome of these have plastic parts that break when applied or are impossible to apply w/one hand, and I know that someone else is supposed to apply it for you but 'someone' may not be there quick enough, but this was tested by the US Army so sounds good

    Indeed.
    I wear a belt with holes in it the entire length so I can use it as an expedient tourniquet God forbid.
    Learned that trick back in the 70's when a biker got broadsided by a car which took his leg off above the knee. He was wearing a belt like that and I used it to stop the bleeding. (And even then he was more worried about his bike than missing a leg.)

    ETA: and tampons are great to stick into bullet holes. Don't ask how I know that...

    I've put panty liners in our BOB's to use as a quick and effective bandage for larger wounds. A panty liner or Kotex with some duct tape or electrical tape will help staunch bleeding and keep the wound cleaner than bandaids or gauze.

    It's true.
    Back in the late 70's I came across an accident late at night. The man had a nasty gash on his head so I asked his wife if she had a Kotex in her purse. Just imagine the confusion. Happens she did have one and I promptly stuck it on his head. Imagine the scene: Emergency arrive to find a guy with a Kotex stuck to his head.

    Hey, if it works!
